If you took it yesterday, then I assume you haven't gotten your score. Do you need it for this cycle? If not, I would consider canceling the score and seeing if you can get your money back from LSAC (or a free retake).

If you retake, I'd write an addendum explaining only this ^ about your first sitting. Just say that you didn't perform as well as you could have on your first sitting, in part due to problems with section timing.

Won't matter all that much, but it could help schools overlook your first score.

If you were an admissions person, what would you think about somebody who said "my score would be better but these people were coughing, and shuffling papers, and the timer went off wrong, and IT ISN'T FAIR!"

This is why I leave the door open as Boyfriend plays Xbox after I retreat to the office to study. If I can dominate LGs with that stupid music from FIFA '10 blaring in the background, I'll be fine with some sniffles and beeps in my actual test.

Was the "marching band competition" retake scenario exactly what it sounds like?
